11 J. TIIEOBAU) Athletic
The man who crams today forgets tomorrow.
"Adapt everything, adopt nothing." Be
yourself, and not an imitation of somebody,
for all imitations are cheap and poor.
"We don't make law; we are hound to in
terpret it as found." It were a good thing if
men sonetimes had the nerve to make a little
law of th eir own.
New Coach. Mr. Fred Barnes, the new
coach for the pitchers, is an old Uni. boy.
He formerly played in the team and is now a
professional, having been 'drafted' from a mi
nor league by Brooklyn. "We expect great
things from him: and we believe that we shall
not be disappointed in our expectations.
Athletic Boakd. The board is showing a
commendable activity in all athletic matters.
Everything is being done consonant with the
furthering of clean and strong physical sportsi
Wo doubt very much if it would be possible
to secure a,n abler or more energetic aggrega
tion of men than that on the present board.
Their example is worthy of commendation.
Dicta. The dicta of great men gone are
not true merely because uttered by those whom
we designate as great. It may savor of cow
ardism to attack their opinion; indeed it may
often a) tear as presumption. But neither
age nor authority cm stand in the way of the
truth-seeker. Trnth is greater than yesterday
or today; its discovery is by the weak as well
as the strong. And if the weak confound the
mighty, why, so much the worse for the
mighty. Ko man should fear to speak truth
merely he i not yet called "great..1 The
fact of speaking may gain him the title.
OitoAKicns. If the croakers who sit on the
back fences in the deep and dark shadows of
their own fallen greatness would cease their
croaking and caviling, the rest of the world
would be happier and perhaps they would be
also. "What a lot of egotistical heathenism
some of these lugubrious lubbers display No
one does a thing just suited to their soured
snobbery or hypocritical intellects. They
either hare done better or ooidtl do Letter
than the other fellow. Yet they stand in
the way of the other fellow, and when his
back is turned, hurl stones at him. They are
nice peopled) Yes in their own peculiar
place.
Dit. Naxsen. The Htsphhian desires to
call the attention of the student body to the
fact that Dr. Nausen, the greatest of all arctic
explorers, will lecture in Lincoln on the 2Gfh
instu Hjs lecture will be on his "Thrilling
Experiences Across the Polar Jiegions. It
will be magnificently illustrated, as he has one
hundred and fifty stereoptieau views, which
were taken by Dr. Nansen himsell.
Dr. Nansen is a scholarly man, thirty-seven
years old and in the prime of life. His book
on "The Nerves1 has made him a fortune.
His next venture will probably be to the au
arotic regions. As this is probably the last
lecture tour the gimtexplorw- will ever make,

A Just Rebuke, "The lltanarv futnlntinit
do not amount to much any more. They are
losing their influence. In fket ilhey are simply
used as stepping-stones, etc" This is in sub
